Utah to Washington drive

Hey I am planning a trip to Seattle in the next little bit, I'm in Utah and will be heading through up through Idaho, Oregon, and then into Washington. Any special things I need to know or do before heading up? Will it be a problem to carry IWB through all the states or will I need to disarm and lock it in my trunk or something? If anyone has any knowledge on this I would greatly appreciate it. Please be specific, I would hate to run into trouble and risk my gun getting confiscated or worse. While in Seattle, will I be able to carry? WA. is a reciprocity state with Utah isn't it?

IANAL but I believe you should be good to go (assuming you have a permit for carry). I assume you've checked Handgunlaw.us ?

Idaho and Washington should not be a problem. Your Utah permit covers you in both states.

Oregon on the other hand does NOT recognize any permits from any other states. You may not conceal anywhere in Oregon. You will be limited to Open Carry.

Firearms may be openly carried in cars in Oregon without any license except where localities have made open carry illegal. To my knowledge, only the cities of Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Oregon City, Salem, and Independence have passed loaded firearms bans encompassing all public places.

Thank you for the info, going through Oregon (according to mapquest) seems to be the best route to get where I am wanting to go in the fastest time. I will just have to unload and keep it on the seat next to me for the 2-3 hours I'm traveling through Oregon. Thank you very very much for all your help matiki and RWW!

IANAL

In Oregon, you will be better off to unload it rather than take the risk of any hassle since you will be an out of stater.

I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.

They'll be weeded out at the gas stations, where it's a crime to pump your own gas (in Oregon).

After living in other states, I happen to love no self serve gas. I don't have to get out in the rain/cold/snow to fuel my vehicle, if the attendant confuses gas and diesel then they are responsible, it has no effect on our pricing (often times our neighboring states are more expensive), and it provides a large number of jobs to those who would otherwise be out of work and a drain on our unemployment.

You will be in Oregon longer than a couple of hours. Take 15 north to 90 go west on 90 will take you straight into Seattle. By pass Oregon completely It might be a bit longer that way but is the prettier and faster route. 90 is wide open interstate. There are two Oregon routes one has you in Oregon most of your trip along the Dalles some parts of which are beautiful but it is a tedious drive and once you hit Portland the drive up 5 is one big burb.The other route on 26 I think to 84 to 5 will take forever. I'd just strap my gun on, skip Oregon and not worry about it
